Dying Light

As the leaves are changing

I notice a harsh light

As my memory is fading

I can't help but feel a fright

Slowly, softly, blissfully

I become accustomed to the light

Each night getting brighter

I  am starting to feel alright

As my loved ones gather

My breath becomes so shallow

I look over at the ones I love

"Don't worry, It get's better"

I watch my friends and family

Starting to fade away

Once a thought so frightening

Now just slips away.

I awaken with the sudden thought

That I have become light

I find myself in my dying clothes 

Forever sleep is not a plight 

Don't cry for me loved ones

I am more than alright

All the pain of living now

Leaves me as I pass through the night.

Wow nice writeup,creating the illusion of what happen in day time ending up slowing as the night comes.

Really impressed with it.
